Digital display case to convey dynamic mechanisms of exhibits

We aim to construct a digital display case system that effectively conveys background information about an exhibited object, and introduce our system into museum exhibition rooms. In this paper, we present a digital display case system that enables viewers to interact with an exhibited artifact in a manner that conveys its dynamic mechanism more easily than conventional approaches. Based on a field trial at a museum, we report visitors´ observations, reviews from museum curators, and a detailed evaluation and discussion of the system.
